Since 2005, when I first started up Veteran Voices of Canada as a nonprofit dedicated to sharing the stories and memories of our country’s war veterans, my colleagues and I have been travelling across Canada documenting these stories and experiences on camera. The taped interviews are then edited and donated to the family of the veteran as a keepsake, as well as to educational institutions across Canada as a teaching resource. The video clips are also posted on our website for a wider audience.
Documenting the experiences of Canadians who sacrificed so much for the freedoms we have today has led to the creation of an invaluable video archive over the years—to many, it’s an historical treasure. Travelling where needed and as funds allow, we visit surviving veterans of World War II and the Korean War, as well as Canada’s more recent veterans, to document their historically important military service.
Above all, the aim of Veterans Voices of Canada is to ensure our continuing Canadian military history, and those who helped make it, will never be forgotten.
